Hotel Marques de Riscal, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Elciego
About
The Marqués de Riscal Hotel stands as a pinnacle of contemporary luxury amid the rolling vineyards of Rioja Alavesa. Designed by world‑renowned architect Frank Gehry, the building’s sculptural form—complete with sweeping metal panels and a soaring 25‑metre spire—creates a striking contrast against the surrounding landscape. Completed in 2006, the 3,200 m² property houses 43 elegantly appointed rooms, three gourmet restaurants, and an indulgent wellness centre. Guests enjoy panoramic views of the vineyards, an infinity pool, and a range of high‑end amenities that make the hotel an ideal base for both wine connoisseurs and seekers of architectural marvels.
